Pros

Compensation is good and so are benefits

Cons

High performance environment even with constant layoffs and absorption of laid off workforce. Constant leadership changes. It is an impossible environment.

Pros

- Sometimes will allow for pilot programs to improve care delivery (but will always tie it to the bottom line).

Cons

- Not patient-centric. ($-centric). - Homogenization of medical care through heavy guidance engineered into the EMR, metrics, etc. - C-suite executives will nickel and dime salaries while ensuring that they receive lavish stock options, salaries and other benefits.
